Awards were presented and during the Annual Meeting of the District Foundation at the convention in Syracuse.

Peninsula Hewlett was honored for sending the most children to Kamp Kiwanis - 64. Three clubs tied for second place, with 35: LaGuardia, Maspeth and East Meadow.

The top division was Long Island Southwest with 96, followed by Queens West with 95 and Metropolitan with 94.

Kamp Executive Director Rebecca Clemence reported that the Kamp had 67 adult kampers this year, one less than last year. There were 598 kampers during the child weeks, 1 more than last year. There were 5 kampers who required one-on-one staffing, while 148 of the kampers had special needs. There were 42 children of military personnel.

The kamp had 52 staff from 15 different countries.

Clemence reported that the impact on military families was made clear this year when they called a parent to report a bug bite and found they were talking to the parent in Afghanistan.

The incumbents were the only candidates for three seats on the Foundation Board. Re-elected to new 3-year terms were Distinguished Past Gov. Joseph Aiello, Thomas Poccio and Anthony Merendino.
